O TIE Darth Vader apareceu em qualquer versão de Empire Strikes Back?

Não. O Tie-Advanced de Vader não apareceu no The Empire Strikes Back, mas fez uma breve aparição no filme. Novelização Júnior .

During the Battle of Yavin, Sith Lord Darth Vader piloted his own Imperial TIE fighter to defend the Death Star space station against a Rebel Alliance assault. While engaged in a dogfight with an X-wing starfighter, he sensed the enemy pilot was strong with the Force. Vader was about to fire upon the X-wing when he and his two wingmen were attacked by a Corellian YT-1300 transport. Vader survived, but his damaged TIE fighter went spinning out of control. Seconds later, the Death Star was blown into a billion pieces.

After Darth Vader brought his crippled spacecraft to an Imperial outpost, he began his investigation. He did not have to identify the Corellian transport. He’d seen it before, when it had been captured by a Death Star tractor beam and deposited in hangar 3207.

Nós também o vemos na nova série de quadrinhos da Marvel Darth Vader # 002 (definido entre os eventos de A New Hope e Empire Strikes Back) em que ficamos sabendo que o Vader tem usado o Destroyer Aniquilador como sua base de operações.

E de um ponto de vista puramente Lego, Vader Tie-Advanced faz uma aparição em " The Empire Strikes Out "onde Vader acidentalmente toca a X-Wing de Luke ...

De acordo com Wookieepedia, o TIE Advanced de Darth Vader x1 foi mencionado apenas brevemente no romance júnior de Star Wars Episódio V: O Império Contra-Ataca (ISBN: 0439681243 ) escrito por Ryder Windham publicado pela Scholastic em 2004. Quanto ao que estava fazendo desde os eventos do filme original de Star Wars :

Following the destruction of the Death Star, the Sith Lord made a hyperspace jump to a planet, Vaal, where he could land safely. His ship was damaged when it was hit by small asteroids in Vaal's orbit, and Vader was forced to make a crash-landing on the planet. Upon his return to the Empire, Vader gave orders that his craft be recovered for repair and that it was to be docked in his personal ship, the Executor.

Vader's TIE was later demolished while docked aboard the Super Star Destroyer Executor as it crashed into the surface of the second Death Star during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY.

Então, basicamente, Darth Vader estava sentado na “garagem” de seu Super Star Destroyer pessoal, da mesma forma que todo mundo conhece alguém que tem pelo menos um carro amado que está em pé na garagem ou na garagem.
